Scammed out of $20,000 by Donald Wilson (Gearbubble)??
Jan 2023 I signed up for and paid in full 1 year of online business mentoring with Donald Guy Wilson (Gearbubble, Simply Scaling and whatever many LLC and companies he operates under) at $20,000 based on his "no risk" guarantee and deliverables (and I quote from his promotional email that got me to sign up): "Here is a quick recap of everything that's in it... 1 Initial risk free call. (will refund you if you don't find incredible value in it same day) 12 months of on-going implementation calls to get you to 7 figures. (results guaranteed - all you have to do is book them and show up to them) 4 luxury events around the world - Jamaica is next March 2nd - March 5th , then we'll be in Europe and Asia shortly after so something will be in your area very soon. (villa stay, food, drinks, hot seat, couples ticket - all included when you join today) On-going email access to me. (if you get stuck along the way, email me) Access to resources and people you meet at the events. FB group access with event attendees - once you come to an event i'll add you into a FB group for that event." As of middle October 2023 there was only the 1 event in Jamaica which I could not attend as it was too far for me. But there were none of the other 3 luxury events either in EU, Asia or outside the US as he claimed that I was looking to attend. This alone was a valuable reason to join as it would allow me 1-2 days of in person access to Donald himself as well as the other coaching students. There was no fb group access given. There were no resources, examples, funnels, coaching videos, training on how to run ads... no actual helpful material was given. I was only given the option to email donald and book a call with him on a monthly basis to ask questions (which he did deliver on). HOWEVER, on these calls no deadlines were set, no targets were set, there was no real structure or plan set out with targets and the advice I'm given on the calls was to "create a software" or "create a high ticket product" or "run ads" which is very easy to say and no actual guidance was given to creating it or doing it. And then when it came to mid October and I have not gotten ANY financial benefit compared to the previous year from his coaching... and remember his guarantee to me was "12 months of on-going implementation calls to get you to 7 figures. (results guaranteed - all you have to do is book them and show up to them)" I reach out and say realistically there is no results I'd like to get a refund or discuss how Donald can at least help me make the $20k back so it's win-win. Instead he starts backing out saying there is no results guarantee and if I wanted a refund I should have asked on the initial call and he's not going to refund me end of story. In my opinion probably because Donald is happy to make promises and guarantees he doesn't keep and knows he's not going to keep and put a 20k price tag on it and not deliver? Is that intent to commit fraud? And then when asking him what his actual terms are of our agreement according to him, he refuses to clarify what the terms are according to him since he alledges there is no guarantee, and then tells me to contact his attorney. This is my experience with Donald Wilson, I can prove everything I'm writing here, including his promotional emails. Feel free to contact me if you question this review as genuine, I can assure you it is and like I said I can prove everything I've said here today with actual evidence of emails. BE WARNED IF DOING ANY BUSINESS WITH HIM, IN MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE FOUND HIM TO BREAK HIS PROMISES AND HE IS NOT A TRUSTWORTHY PERSON (THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AFTER HAVING PAID $20,000 HIM TO BE MY "RESULTS GUARANTEED RISK FREE MENTOR" FOR 10 MONTHS) I WOULD PERSONALLY NEVER RECOMMEND SOMEONE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM DONALD WILSON/ SIMPLY SCALING, ESPECIALLY NOT MENTORING OR COACHING This is another one of his "promotional" emails quoting: "I wanted to send you out 5 reasons to join the mentoring program. I know it's a big decision so I wanted to give you a push. I know that I can help you so it's important to me that I give you reasons to join. Reason 1 - Learn directly from a 9 figure earner. Reason 2 - Vacations as a bonus - on top of the mentoring you get to come to luxury events all around the world. Reason 3 - Revenue Guarantee - there is no risk to you - all you have to do is show up and if we don't hit the revenue numbers we project you don't pay. Reason 4 - Tax write off - if you made any profits this year you can write this all off - the mentoring, the vacations, all of it. Reason 5 - Rare opportunity - chances like this don't come around often. You should join this mentoring while I offer it. If you're ready to join, you can do so now." Look at reason number 3^^ If he didn't guarantee results with no risk to me I would never have signed up, and he likely knows this which is what makes me think he is a big scammer imo.
